San Diego State frat members arrested in drug bust

Have you read the story about the San Diego State University drug bust yet? I covered crime and breaking news for a while, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a drugs-for-sale network advertised through mass text messages — or organized by fraternity members.

If police have the story right, it looks like 95 people — 75 of whom are students at the university — were involved in dealing drugs. The Associated Press reported that cocaine, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine and other drugs were seized after a recent investigation.

In a statement posted on the university’s Web site earlier today, SDSU President Stephen Weber said the arrested students have been suspended:

“They will not be returning to class or taking final exams until completion of due-process review, to which they are entitled under the law. Those who were living in university-managed housing have been evicted.”
